    HTMPane with support for "BACK" button (history support)

    Is it possible to create a SmartGWT (or GWT) HTMLPane which points to an external url (eg. www.cnn.com) such that I can also somehow include a "BACK" button so that as the user navigate that external site (www.cnn.com) I can allow them (all from WITHIN my SmartGWT application) to click "BACK".

    I can of course create a popup tab that opens in their regular browser tab which will have all the normal browser functionality (back, forward, refresh etc.), but I want them to NOT leave my SmartGWT application. Instead, I just want to have a seamless experience and make those external URLs essentially appear as part of my application -- that is, part of a SMARTGWT window. However, I still do need to support "BACK" features etc, since users will be clicking on links in this external page (www.cnnn.com) and will want to be able to go "back" if possible. (And though it's less important, I'd be interested to know if I could similarily implement "FORWARD", "REFRESH", "STOP" etc. as well.)

    Additional details:
